"She Made Her Decision Before You Finished Your Sentence"

Three seconds. That's how long it took. Your shoes. Your posture. The way you held your drink. Whether you looked at the floor or looked at her.

She already filed you away. Interesting. Boring. Safe. Bold. Before you even opened your mouth.

Everything you say after that is just her confirming what she already decided.

So stop rehearsing lines. Fix the first three seconds. Stand tall. Look up. Smile like you mean it. Walk like you belong wherever you're standing.

The words come later. The impression comes first.

I was looking through some books on the web, on improving humor and came accross a book called "Comedy Writing Secrets". From what I could get from some reviews it was great for improving comedy writing skills but however I didn't see anything about it being good for improving humour in more "social" situations

jus wondering if anyone here has it and found it to be useful.
 

"She Liked You in March. It's October Now."

Attraction runs on a clock.

She flirted for weeks. Touched your arm. Found reasons to be alone with you. And you were careful. Respectful. Waiting for the right moment.

The moment had a shelf life. It expired around month two, and by the time you asked her out, she'd quietly filed you under "little brother."

One of the hardest lessons inside the 22 Rules: women rarely wait. Interest either grows or it decays, and nothing decays it faster than a man who never moves.

Make the move while she's still inventing reasons to be near you.

No the book is actually quite good.

Its more a resource guidebook for budding stand-up comedians though- if you jsut want humour to use in social situations expose yourself to as much funny material as you can and hopefully your funnybone will develop from that.

And KarmaSutra, yeah man i agree with you. DeAngelo is a plagarising knob.
